With anticipated mass testing, the number of positive cases is expected to increase sharply. “We could manage local cases, but not with such rising numbers of truck drivers. Migori County has recorded 30 Covid-19 positive cases, with three being truck drivers. County Health Executive Iscah Oluoch said the three drivers currently receiving treatment at Macalder Hospital in Nyatike were from Eldoret, Nairobi and Kajiado counties. To contain the virus, the national government has seconded at least 29 experts to the county to intensify sample taking from truck drivers in Busia and Malaba border points.
